I had it in my head that things would be idle for another month, so it's a relief to hear someone has already got theirs fixed. I wonder if they even need new parts or just simply need to resolder a connection.

I asked the service manager about the fix as I was/am concerned about any long term issues. He indicated that the wait and lack of information was due to waiting for GM to let them know what the fix was going to be. He explained they removed the one piece of the dash and then replaced a plate (I think that is what he called it) and that it was an easy fix. Others may learn more about the technical aspects of the fix but I am just glad to have it back.

Re: 2015 Escalade safety recall

First post for me. Went to the dealer today. It just came in. As of yesterday it was clear of recalls. Now it's on the "weld" list. Planning to reject it and, maybe, order another later. Have had five Escalades to include my current 2012. Love them and have never had an issue. This 2015 scares the sh** out of me. Pretty disappointed with Cadillac. Have a 2014 Stingray and it is Perfect!!!

Re: 2015 Escalade safety recall

Looks like we can make a deal...than???

----------

Got a call from the dealer this am. Looks like GM has identified an inspection plan and the VINs identified are not necessarily in need if a fix. Was told the mine was OK, if I still wanted it. Are happy to do a re-order if I'm concerned about the potential impact on future value. Still thinking about waiting for the Platinum.

so, which dealer is it so a more interested buyer can appreciate it more? is it black on black premium?

Re: 2015 Escalade safety recall

We've only owned our 2015 Escalade for a week and a half, but yesterday we got a letter Fedexed to us from GM - the Escalade already has a safety recall.

Apparently, one of the welds behind the dash was not heated to the proper temp and the result is that the passenger side airbag may not deploy completely in the event of an collision.

The letter says that it's okay to continue driving the truck, but you should not allow anyone to ride in the front passenger seat. The "part" that is required to fix the issue is not currently available. When it is, we're going to have to take out truck in to the dealer so they can rip out the whole dash and fix the problem.

I'm not sure if this is all new 2015 Escalades will fall under this recall or just a small lot of trucks.

Re: 2015 Escalade safety recall

A lot of bad info out there. Not as drastic as originally thought. No reweld required on most. GM identified VIN and airbag lot numbers that are affected. Mine passed all inspections...built early May. What a great vehicle. Sorry WI, Go Seahawks. Another loyal Packer fan but ...

I'm not a football/sports fan anyways, but I am a gambling man. I made a low five figure parlay bet on the broncos and the over. That bet further solidified in my mind that sports aren't my thing.

Re: 2015 Escalade safety recall

Mine was found to be clear of the issue based on airbag, etc build numbers. Dealer did the inspection as required by GM. A lot of others out here that are stuck at the dealers. Was told that mine was one of, if not the first to be delivered in the NW. You'll love yours when you get it. BIG difference from the previous four that I've owned...all good. Amazing sound system!

I found the sound system to just be decent. Distorts at high levels. I'm a bit of an audiophile though, I'll agree that most will find the 2015 sound to be sufficient. Personally I'm already scoping out ways to upgrade it. The single sub 6"' woofer doesn't help matters in the bass department either. I'm not the guy you'll see at a stop light trying to unscrew his license plate using bass vibrations, but I do want the low end to be there when I want it. A sub that small cannot reproduce frequencies below 80hz very well.
